A blast of fear

Nothing has a greater impact on warfare than gun powder. Close to close combat
knowledge has been required since the discovery of gun powder, but in these days, even a
farmer, plumber, or any citizen can go to battle by simply grabbing a rifle. A single being can
wield that much power simply by grabbing a rifle.

The firing pin then hits the primer which causes the powder to burn hence
producing lots of gases.  This causes the volume behind the bullet to fill with extremely high-
pressure gas.  The gas pushes on every surface it encounters, including the bullet in front of
it and the base of the gun barrel behind it. The increase in pressure caused by the gases
causes the bullet to be forced into the barrel hence causing the bullet to come out of the
muzzle at very high speed. Bang! It is now possible to kill a human just by pulling the trigger
of a gun. Boom! When it is heard next you, there isn't much you can do. The sound of horses
footsteps are no longer as frightening as the sound grenade rolling into you. When
compared to a single rocket approaching your house, thousands of arrows are nothing. If a
single reload of a bow could only target one person, a single reload of a gun may now target
numerous bodies. The blast of a gun powder is very terrifying and has made the world more
lethal and destructive.
